You're looking at multi decade investing horizons where the things that matter are local & regional economies, median household incomes, school districts, crime statistics, the competency & business friendliness of local & state governments, etc.

Would love more info on population statistics and economic statistics... as well as any other data people find useful when determining whether an area may be good for flipping.Thank you all so much!

I find that hard to believe in any market, because the statistics are that 98% of the time a buyer is found either by the buyers agent, or by way of the buyer calling on the MLS listing and wanting to deal.

In 2013 we did the same statistical analysis and the sales price received on the mls was 100% of the predicted ARV, on average.

Most bad guys aren't bold enough to try this when someone is home, but I've heard of it happening when the tenants were away, or when the unit was vacant between tenants.If you have a bedroom with only one window, and that window serves as an egress window (second exit in case of fire), check with the local building-code people to see if you're allowed to put a window unit in that bedroom. 

The population statistics over the last 10 years are of concern to me in Sheboygan.

@Allen Phelps I’m in that market D4D and statistical lead generation.

Rent Growth is doing well, in fact recently ranked #1 in the nation according to Moody Analytics Prelim 2019 Q4 Report. 110 million dollar Airport Renovation and job growth of almost 4% in the last 12 months according to Bureau of Labor Statistics.

If they are claiming the ability to raise rents 25% right now, that's a pretty bold claim.

Too many tables and statistics.
